I posted and linked in late today. I had absolutely no idea of what i should post today. I borrowed a book 'Cezannes's Garden by Derek Fell', from the library. Flipping through, i thought oh maybe i should do a water colour garden theme, so i when i put down the book, i set to work on my post for today. i used an old photo 2017 as my inspiration. Hope everyone had a joyous Easter.

Its the Season of Easter; emptiness renewal are issues to ponder. I chose the haiku below as my archived haiku to inspire me to write a new one for Chèvrefeuille's prompt

oh to hear
the song of a skylark
to add joy to my day

Carpe Diem #1648 skylark (hibari),

Chèvrefeuille's prompt is classical kigo - skylark (hibari) I do not know of this bird here in Trinidad and Tobago, so i did some research and came upon a poem To a Skylark by Shelley which is the inspiration to my response to the prompt. I couldnt fit my thought into a haiku so i wrote a tanka.

The skylark, more particularly its song, symbolizes ultimate joy. The speaker, Shelley in this case, asks the skylark to teach him this joy in order that he might give his poetry the same blithe quality of the skylark's song.

Teach me half the gladness

That thy brain must know,

Such harmonious madness

From my lips would flow
